Copyright..

What happens if you are making money on copyrighted videos? I have seen plenty of videos on youtube which are monetized and just wondered how they are getting away with it and what would happen if they get caught?

Yeah, YT automatically runs ads on many copyrighted content videos and gives the revenue to the copyright owner if the owner has chosen to allow that content to be monetized. Otherwise, they usually delete it.

already life is full of so many risks , why take more!
stay away from copyrighted stuff, use [copyleft] open source or take a permission if you must use or try using a disclaimer (though that wont help much).
